How to Turn It ON
Note that while in AUX mode, the Flip is not able to connect to other devices via Bluetooth. Also, the Flip draws power from the connected device, charging its battery with the power received from that device. Furthermore, the Volume buttons on the Flip do not work. Instead, use those controls on the source device to adjust the loudness.
1. Turn ON the unit by pressing the -Power- button.
2. Press and hold the Bluetooth and Play-Pause buttons for around ten seconds.
3. After ten seconds, the speaker shuts down momentarily, then powers back up. It does not make any Bluetooth connections with any nearby devices now.
4. The Flip will now play audio via the USB-C cable, streamed from the connected device. Listen until your heart’s content, or the battery on your source device dies.
